This modified saltbox is located on a terrific oversized .85 acre lot in the heart of Essex just steps from the schools, parks and pool. The first floor of the home features a mudroom, eat-in-kitchen, large living room, bedroom and full bath. Great potential to convert the first floor bed and bath into a traditional master bedroom suite. The first floor has hardwood floors in the living, kitchen, dining area and bedroom while the mudroom has tile flooring. The second floor features three additional bedrooms and another full bath. The second floor also has a bonus space which could be used as an office, children's play area or studio space. The bedrooms have ample closet space but there is also an additional large storage closet in the hallway. The basement is partially finished and could easily be converted to additional finished living space. There is a slider leading from the first floor to a deck overlooking the large backyard. The fully fenced backyard has fruit bushes, a storage shed, and additional landscaping. When fully vegetated it has a private feeling even though it is located in the heart of town. In addition to the large backyard, the home is setback from the street creating another large yard space in front. There is a two car attached garage as well. This home has tons of potential for a buyer looking to customize a home in a great family neighborhood on a large lot near schools and parks. A great value and a must see for the potential.
